Foster The People - The Truth Lyrics
I've been trying to re-learn my nameIt seems like a thousand yearsI've been out of frameAnd I surrender the truth is whatWhat I've needed from youI've been floating within your walls of opinionAnd I'm tired - I only want the truthI have tried so hard not to be like themI have found they don't ever say what they meanThere is a truth, there is a light if you'd follow me thereI've been searching for directions andI'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needsThere is a hope for the hopeless, I can promise you thatYeah, well I been accostedThe jury's been partialBut I won't surrenderTo prove to you I won't lieUnder pressure of compromiseAn absolute measure won't change with opinionNo matter how hard you tryIt's an immovable thingLike the visions in your bedOr when they're streaming in your headI have tried so hard not to be like themI have found they don't ever say what they meanThere is a truth, there is a light if you'd follow me thereI've been searching for the directions andI'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needsThere is a hopeI'll come backIf you're leading my handThe world is so brokenI'm tripping my stepsI'm slipping and I know whyI never thought that I'd be hereA blinding call to prayerHas touched my feetLike the call of the prophetsA purpose is needed before you now that you knowTo never wonder what you areAnd not forget where you come fromIs it really love you've been speaking of?What'd you say? What'd you say?I said that you need me, don't you?There is a truth, I can promise you thatI have tried so hard not to be like themI have found they don't ever say what they meanThe truth stands in the endWhile you're deciding what to doThe truth stands in the endWhile you're deciding what to do
